S. Manikavasagam (MP for Kapar), R. Sivarasa (MP for Subang) and Zuraida Kamaruddin (MP for Ampang) were arrested at 10.30am Saturday for protesting against the fuel price hike as well as the detention of Hindu Rights Action Force leaders under the Internal Security Act 1960.

Tell me AGAIN. What are they PROTESTING FOR? PRICE HIKES! Yes. As if that was the ONLY hike happening lately in Malaysia when many others unscrupulous traders and profiteers were taking and making even worst hiked than the current idiots in the govt bloc. BUT do we see these PKR Mavericks making comments on that other issues and to those others? NO. Why? Simply because theres no political gain in doing that, and a waste of their expensive times. These guys are making the mockery of the real suffering of the Rakyat by putting their political game and agenda, first. They know they will be caught, BUT they know they will get bail, afterall. The next day, they shall be up and running and publishing all sorts of so-called injustice by the police, govt and of course, the govt.

And the HINDRAF they are fighting for, they should make a SURVEY and see what the majority Rakyats think about that. The Rakyat HAD ENOUGH OF HINDRAF and their gangster-style protesting.

Im telling this NOT because i agree with the recent issues involving the Govt. They (the govt) are disgusted. BUT these PKR leaders (of always the same person) have only one true intention and sadly, they are using our suffering to their advantage. Thats silently, even worst than the idiots at Putrajaya.

Have a Heart: Save IJN

Israel’s assault on Gaza, by air, sea and now land, has killed (at the time of this writing) more than 600 Palestinians, with more than 2,700 injured. Ten Israelis have been killed, three of them Israeli soldiers killed by friendly fire. Beyond the deaths and injuries, the people of Gaza are suffering a dire humanitarian crisis that is dismissed by the Israeli government. There is, however, Israeli opposition to the military assault.

Child Safety

Parents, guardians, and adults who care for children face constant challenges when trying to help keep children safer in today's fast-paced world.
The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) offers easy-to-use safety resources to help address these challenges.
For decades, children were taught to stay away from "strangers." But this concept is difficult for children to grasp and often the perpetrator is someone the child knows.
It is more beneficial to help build children's confidence and teach them to respond to a potentially dangerous situation...

Why Hamas is NOT the issue

Mohammed, age six, marched with determination to his bedroom, put on a record of the Fatah marching song, picked up a wooden toy rifle and marched out to the balcony. He pointed the rifle to the sky where minutes ago, Israeli planes flew over dropping bombs on Palestinian refugee sites. Mohammed told me he wanted to be a pilot so he could fight Israeli warplanes. “But Mohammed, the Palestinians do not have planes.” “I don’t care, I will fight them whatever way I can.”Was a resistance fighter born this minute or was he a “future terrorist”? (Beirut 1973)

How does one explain the horrific fate that has befallen caged Gaza – a land saturated with rubble and body parts – carpet-bombed by air, invaded by ground, attacked by sea? Put to the test of history, Israeli “explanations” fail the credibility test. continue here---------------------------------------------Robert Fisk: Leaders lie, civilians die, and lessons of history are ignoredWe've got so used to the carnage of the Middle East that we don't care any more – providing we don't offend the Israelis. It's not clear how many of the Gaza dead are civilians, but the response of the Bush administration, not to mention the pusillanimous reaction of Gordon Brown, reaffirm for Arabs what they have known for decades: however they struggle against their antagonists, the West will take Israel's side. As usual, the bloodbath was the fault of the Arabs – who, as we all know, only understand force. ..Continue here

War on Gaza

Israel's failure to learnBy Nir Rosen (Aljazeera)

When George Bush, the US president, first entered the White House as the commander-in-chief in 2001, Palestinians were being killed in the al-Aqsa intifada.

Eight years later, as Bush prepares to leave office, Israel is carrying out one of the largest massacres in its 60-year occupation of Palestine.

The US, then and now, strongly backs Israel's offensive, justifying it as being, in fact, defensive.To continue read here ...
